I was very surprised to see a Ford Mustang Fastback in Budapest, and quite frankly I was also surprised to see this black 1965 Ford Mustang Coupe in Paris. The pony cars just seem out of place in the continent where Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Fiats, or Citroën are the norm. However, this has been a super popular car over the years, and so we find it overseas.This was a tricky ... Check out this car!

I was driving on the island of Lefkada in Greece in the narrow streets of small hill town Kalamitsi, and this car caught my attention quickly.Nicely backed in to its driveway, and ready to go, a 1969 Ford Capri!

Like Berlin, Prague was also a hotbed of endangered cars to take photographs. This is a very cool sporty number that was produced between the years 1964-1973, the Fiat 850.
